Jim,

Are you going with a Rod Geeks blank for that Tube Rod?

 

 

No, it's a forest green St Croix SCV......that has been 4 years in planning! Lol

 

 

What Scott said

and the experiment continues.

 

Sweet excited to see this new one

and the experiment continues.

Scott,

Say it is so.

Scott,

Say it is so.

It is so!

and the experiment continues.

 

 

Scott please get plenty of practice on Steve's handle before the NEXT one.

It is so!

Nice!! I am already lining up a Musky Float and a King Salmon trip to give this rod a full testing.

and the experiment continues.

 

 

 

You really have to stop soon.  You are causing me to want to spend more money than I should.  I had talked myself out of the need for a ban saw and lathe.  Not so much anymore.  Watching this thread unfold is like a fishing crack addiction...  And I can't "Just say NO"...

Lathe first.  There's a lot you can do with that before you need to get a bandsaw!  I was doing elliptical inlays in cork with my miter saw for years.  Biggest reason for the bandsaw was EVA.  the miter saw didn't like the EVA.

 

My first elliptical using miter saw.

Scott, this is just incredible!! I am going to have a tough time waiting for this one!!

No one ever wants a tennesse grip?

Here ya go. Split Tennessee 5S610MLXF to be extended to 7'.

I know it's not bandsaw related, I just didn't want to start a new thread for one pic.

Sweeet!! what's up with the butt?

Sweeet!! what's up with the butt?

That's the extension. I hadn't installed it yet.

Rough turned the grip inlay and fighting butt tonight.  I think we have a winner!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing work,Scott!

Scott, I don't know what to say! That is Incredible!! I can't believe that is going on my 11wt. That rod will be legendary.

Steve you are going to have a lot of pressure on you to catch something legendary on that legendary rod.

 

 

 

 

 

THAT IS INCREDIBLE! Nice shaping on the Full Wells grip. That reel seat looks so sharp! It will look even better with that Remix mounted to it.

I made it a little bigger than the pattern. It just seemed too small. It feels good in hand.

That's awesome

I'm not a fly fisherman but with that rod I could be. Looks great Scott & Steve.

Dwight, are you getting anything special done to your rod (i.e., signiture Scott Handle design, ornate decal, etc.)?

He is getting a grip like the pink border collie rodgeeks but with the light and dark flopped.
